That was in the expanded universe, and some of it was fairly logical ie reestablishment of the jedi order, the remnants of the empire eventually making peace with the rebel alliance and some really crazy jumping the shark things. Yuszon vong, storm trooper zombies ect.

I seriously hope they don't touch thrawn or mara jade, it is bad enough as it currently is with rey instantly being a master of everything despite growing up alone on a desert planet, and the first order making the original empire look supremely competent.

It looks currently with the resistance and the first order like two retarded kids fighting each other, I really wish they had set it 5-7 years after rotj and recast the actors and stole some of the better stories from the eu than what I have seen so far.

Or go back to the old republic, better than rehashing episodes 4-6 again, anything from timothy zhan would be leagues better than tfa was. Hand of judgement or choices of one already had a better female lead than rey will likely ever be.

That is a given the only question, is how much is luke going to look incompetent and helpless in order to make rey look that much more of an amazing strong empowered woman by comparison.

He was probably as powerful if not more so than master yoda in the eu, but so far i don't think anything from the eu is relevant to the new series.
